Show me will mcbride bpl1/12/2024 ![]() Canceling FOX Football Fone-In and not replacing it with a caller-driven show was a mistake. The launch of a Hollywood-style TV chat show entitled Soccer Talk Live was a flop. The channel could try to pick up additional rights such as the Bundesliga from GolTV, but the TV ratings would be far less than what it enjoys with the Premier League. Other than that, there isn’t much left that’s strong enough to lead or build a channel around. ESPN has some USMNT games in addition to FIFA World Cup 2014 and Euro 2016. NBC will have the rights to EPL, as well as the current rights to MLS. beIN SPORT has the rights to La Liga, the Championship and Serie A. FOX also has US rights to the Women’s World Cup (2015) and FIFA World Cup tournaments (20), but those are still in the distant future.įOX finds itself in an uncomfortable position. They can either try to rebuild by picking up other TV rights to beef up their 2013-14 schedule, or they could decide to dissolve FOX Soccer next year and turn it into a FOX Sports 2 or FOX Sports 3 channel, where they would offer viewers a variety of different sports programming including a limited soccer offering (choosing from the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and England home matches, as well as smaller leagues). ![]()
